Pocket GPS Navigator
Anyone heard of Pharos Pocket GPS Navigator? Compaq iPAQ based $199 from Pharos (www.pharosgps.com)? Determines your location within 25 feet (so they claim). Continuously updates your position while driving and you location is shown on a street map covering USA.Will give you a route if you give it an address and with verbal warning if your off!!!
Any thoughts vis-a-vis DVD Navigator for the E??

It looks interesting. At least it can be a solution if you already own a pocket PC, like me, and waiting for DVD in dash system. I didn't understand where this system stores maps. CD ROM mentioned and I believe you need to load limited area to PPC from CD, so if you travel big miles, then you will need to reload maps. But it's only my guess. I think that getting new maps can be much cheaper than for DVD based system. I see only few disadvantages: smaller screen, no integration with factory radio for muting to hear instruction. It would be nice to hear if somebody already tried such system.
